You said you would never leave me, I believe you, I believe...

Favorite line from that song, probably.  Today I'm going to pick up four copies of the Flyleaf album.  One for me, one for Andrew, one for Patrick, and one for Bridgewater.  Bridgewater is off the hook for paying me back though, because tomorrow is his salvation birthday.  One whole year of being a Christian!  Woo Hoo!

I have to go clean Grammy's house now, so this is just a short blog.  But since I haven't blogged in forever, I owed it to you.

I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo...

Andy's surprise party was a success!  There were 23ish of us not counting adults, and we played Rock Band, MarioKart, and ping-pong all night long.  Lots of food.  Lots of friends.  Lots of fun.  Good times.

I am currently wearing an old worn out white t-shirt with "I'm A Ding-A-Ling!" scrawled across it in Sharpie and some pink and orange plaid shorts, and my hair is thrown up in a clippy thing.  I tell you the truth, I am uber comfy.

The Olson's are in town, so we've been chilling with them the last couple days.  Right now Zach is watching some comedian on YouTube, and I don't even know where Sophie and Tanner are at, and the little boys are in bed.  Today we went to see the Spiderwick Chronicles at the dollar theatre.  I thought it was pretty okay, and Zach and Tanner hated it.  Go figure *laugh*  It wasn't as bad as I expected though.  I also got some shorts at Aeropostale.  They're super cute.  I like 'em.

Rock Band is a cool game.

I think going to sleep sounds like a fantastic idea.  Goodnight!

Fwd: never tried this... i wonder how well it will work??

This counts as a blog, right?


 WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR?
Hot pink and black.  I've had a thing for blue lately, too.
 
ARE YOU IN A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP?
Depends on who you ask.
 
TO WHOM?
Again, it depends on who you ask.


WHERE DO YOU SEE IT GOING?
If I could see the future, I'd tell you, but for now I only have hopes and dreams and God.


WHAT IS THE GREATEST THING GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU?
He's showed me that I'm worth it.  I wish I could express the magnitude of that.

WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT?
Singing in crazy places full of people... I think that's pretty huge.  I love it.


HOW IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR PARENTS?
Good.  We like each other usually. *laugh*

FRIENDS?
Good.  I wish I could spend more time with them.

SIBLINGS?
Well, I haven't killed any of them yet.  Nah, we get along pretty well.

HOW COULD THEY BE IMPROVED?
Spending more time talking and listening would be fantastic.  It's hard to find time to invest in people.


WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO BY YOURSELF?
Write.  I love to write.  Or sing.  I sing when I know no one can hear me.

WITH A GROUP?
I really like to just chill and do whatever.  Watching movies or TV at someone's house is one of my favorite things to do with people.  Watching Ninja Warrior at Bass's house is one of my favorites.


WHAT IS THE LAST MOVIE YOU SAW?
Hmmm... I don't remember.  I Am Legend maybe?  No, there have been more since then... I'm not sure.


WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST GOAL IN LIFE?
To glorify Christ with my life, and to love the people around me in a way that magnifies Him.


WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BAND/SINGER/GENRE?
I listen to Rock, mostly.  I really like Anberlin and Skillet right now.  I like tons of bands though.


WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST BEEF WITH SOCIETY?
This question is fantastic.  In general that's a hard one to answer, but right now at this moment probably the way society judges people in the same breath that they tell you not to be judgmental.


WHO IS YOUR GREATEST ROLE MODEL
Hmmmmm.  C.S. Lewis.  I wish I was like him.  He's one of the people that I'm going to look for first when I get to heaven.  As far as people I know, I'm not a very role-modely person, so there isn't much of an answer for me.
